No better time to become an apprentice
LondonUnderground (LU) has unveiled £1m of improvements to its apprentice training facility at its Skills and Training Centre in Acton.
The centre has been modernised with new equipment to help ensure the apprentices have the skills to support the Capital's transport network.
There is a skills shortage in the transport industry, particularly in engineering, and LU is investing in the equipment and infrastructure its apprentices use while learning the trade.
In September 2014, TfL welcomed 86 new apprentices in a variety of roles ranging from project planning to highway technicians. It has also created more than 100 new apprenticeship roles for 2015.
Applications for these roles will open on the TfL website from February 2015.
Mike Brown MVO, Managing Director of London Underground and London Rail, said: 'All our apprentices are helping us to support over 30 million journeys every day as we continue to invest billions of pounds in our transport network to meet the needs of London's growing population to support jobs, homes and economic growth.'
